The driver need not have to call and alert the parents on reaching the pick up point, with the school bus app for parents, the parents or students get an alert 10 minutes before the school bus arrives and also allows the parents to live track the school bus as it is dangerous for the students to wait in neighborhoods which aren't friendly. Also the schools can track the buses and know the status of the students whether or not if they are inside the bus or have already gotten out of the school bus using auto attendance by RFID attendance.
In case the bus breaks down they can easily locate the bus and send assistance or a bus replacement to the exact location. With OBD tracker we can also get faulty codes from the bus and be prepared for the appropriate repair.
